County Chapter

​

Pat Yourself on the Back!

Since the Anne Arundel Chapter was launched in 2010 our top priority has been putting in place a fund dedicated to remediating contaminated stormwater runoff. After years of intense effort, the County Council, in 2013, enacted the Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund. A Veto by then County Executive Laura Neuman was overridden by the Council.

During 2015, opponents on the Council and newly elected County Executive Steve Schuh made repeated efforts to gut or repeal the law. Over 40 residents turned out in April to speak against repeal of the laws and there were many speakers in May for the final vote against the bill to reduce fees. All three bills went down to defeat by a 4-3 vote. We do not expect any further efforts at repeal this year.

We continue to monitor the proceedings of the County Council and the actions of the County Executive. Watch for our first report card on the new County Council and the County Executive to be released in the Spring of 2016.
